How can I schedule time Monday, Wednesday and Friday only?

You'll have to set Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays separately. Click on Frequency >> Event Frequency = Daily/Every 7 days >> Set Ends After XX times. You will have to do this for the Mondays, then for the Wednesdays, then Fridays.

Is there a way to make the calendar a 24 hour view?

When you look at the schedule calendar, it shows 8 am to 6 pm. There is a little earlier link at the top and a later link at the bottom to view times outside 8-6. But the calendar view defaults to the 8a-5p block of time and you can't change that.

If by "24 hr view" you mean military time, no, you can't change the Schedule tool to use that format.

What does 'Event Type' mean?

An event can be almost anything. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the variety of choices, as listed in the legend. Typically, instructors use the calendar to announce due dates for assignments, tests, discussions, academic calendar items like drop dates etc. It is just another layer of information to help keep students on target -- the start and stop dates for tests & quizzes and assignment also appear in those tools.

You can have the events over multiple days by choosing the frequency button to add more days for the event.

What are calendar fields?

Calendar fields are for adding additional items that are not already included -- some instructors may have a use for them while others won't. For example, you may add a field trip, and you need to add a custom field called "What to Bring" or "Location & Directions." This creates an extra space while creating a new event for you to add these types of elements.

How can I avoid entering start and stop times for calendar events?

You don't need an end date, but there is no way around the start date. Notice the * in front of the Date and Start Time -- anything with a * is required and the program won't allow you to leave it out.

How can I create a multi-day event and selected a frequency option that includes the last day I want the event to appear?

Set the frequency of your event to end on the day after the event ends so that the previous day is included. This limitation is due to the fact that there is no place to set the end time; therefore, an extra day is needed so that the end date is inclusive.
